I do speak from experience on this matter, bad experience that is.

Also the unlevel could be caused by the laminat compressing on the outer edges if that's the way it's leaning.
That too but also so close to the direct cold cement slab, I'd think the need of heating would be much more. But never had any tanks in the basement.
